yeah, but you could PROBABLY make two rounds with it the way it is locked right now...... probably better to loop a spoke, and catch the brake pedal, or clutch........

I think you might be overestimating how many times you have to spin the steering wheel to get it to move the wheels but clearly they could have done a much better job locking it up.
